Hi! My name is Nadia, and I graduated from Morgan State University in May. This fall, I'll be attending nursing school, and I'm currently offering childcare and senior care services to help save for tuition. I have a passion for caring for others and have been babysitting for my family for many years. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, helping with homework and tutoring, organizing crafts and activities, meal preparation, and providing a safe, nurturing environment. In addition to childcare, I have experience caring for my own grandparents and am comfortable providing senior care. I can assist with meal preparation, transportation to appointments, companionship, and other daily tasks as needed. I am CPR and First Aid certified and committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and attentive care. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate caregiver, I'd love to connect! You can contact me at [removed].

Hi families! My name is Mary, and I am a recent college graduate from University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I’m an experienced caregiver with an extensive background in child, senior, and pet care. I have up to date certifications in CPR, first aid, and early childhood education. I’ve worked as a nanny, assisting with daily routines, homework, and ensuring a safe environment. With seniors, I provide compassionate support in daily activities, medication management, and companionship. My pet care includes feeding, walking, and grooming various animals, regardless of size or age. I look forward to contributing positively to your family’s daily life!

“OMG I'm so grateful for her punctuality, reliability, professionalism, and care!! My daughter is four and I was nervous for her to have a sitter for the first time. But Mary is so great with her, and offers other services while here. So thoughtful and actually plays with your kid too. "She's so nice mommy, I want to keep her for my birthday," my daughter said haha. Definitely 5 stars!”

Hi! My name is Mariam, and I work in a Pediatric Emergency Room, where providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care to children is my top priority. Through my experience in pediatrics, I’ve worked with children of all ages and learned how to stay calm, patient, and observant in all situations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and playtime. I also have a passion for cooking and am happy to help with meal prep or snacks as needed. Creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment is always my goal. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care services. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, primarily small breeds, and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I treat every child and pet with care, patience, and respect.

“she’s so amazing & wonderful with my kids! has a very bubbly personality and always willing to help out when needed!”

Hello, my name is ChiChi, I offer child care, senior care and household services. I love being a babysitter/ nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, school-age children as well as twins since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included dropoffs/pickups, tutoring, coaching, playtime, games, crafts, feeding, naptime and more. As a parent, I understand the importance of creating a safe and engaging environment to meet developmental needs while prioritizing comfort and well-being. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I have been a caretaker for older family members and can drive to assist with appointments, cook and other tasks. I am allergic to cats though happy to work with families with small dogs. Families describe me as warm, reliable, and intuitive. I’m flexible with scheduling and open to discussing routines that work best for your household.

“Chichi is very friendly and communicates very well. I look forward to working with her in the future”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
